Ram Dass Quote

[Thought Art]

"Imagine feeling more loved from someone than you have ever known. You're being loved even more than your mother loved you when you were an infant, more than you were ever loved by your father, your child, or your most intimate lover-- anyone. This lover doesn't need anything from you, isn't looking for personal gratification, and only wants your complete fulfillment.

You are loved just for being who you are, just for existing. You don't have to do anything to earn it. Your shortcomings, your lack of self esteem, physical perfection, or social and economic success-- none of that matters. No one can take this love away from you, and it will always be here.

Imagine that being in this love is like relaxing endlessly into a warm bath that surrounds and supports your every movement, so that every thought and feeling is permeated by it. You feel though you are dissolving into love.

This love is actually part of you; it is always flowing through you. It's like the subatomic texture of the universe, the dark matter that connects everything. When you tune in to that flow, you will feel it in your own heart - not your phsyical heart or your emotional heart, but your spiritual heart, the place you point to in your chest when you say, "I am".

This is your deeper heart, your intuitive heart. It is the place where the higher mind, pure awareness, the subtler emotions, and your soul identity all come together and you connect to the universe, where presence and love are.

Unconditional love really exists in each of us. It is part of our deep inner being. It is not so much an active emotion as a state of being. It's not "I love you" for this or that reason, not "I love you if you love me". It's love for no reason, love without an object. It's just sitting in love, a love that incorporates the chair and the room and permeates everything around. The thinking mind is extinguished in love.

If I go into the place in myself that is love and you go into the place in yourself that is love, we are together in love. Then you and I are truly in love, the state of being in love. That's the entrance into Oneness. That's the space I entered when I met my guru." - Ram Dass (Be Love Now)

@Thought Art thank You for this💗

I am not loved, I do not need anyone to love me, I am the perfect glory of existence, there is no god who loves me, but I am. Within me is the totality, the infinite, the great abyss that lives and is. I don't need anyone because I am everything. I am not defined because I have no limit. I am joy, existence and power without limit. It seems a joke , but no....just the reality.

Namaste!
